Why support research at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center?
Cancer research is an investment in a healthier future. Every dollar devoted to scientific research has the potential to transform the cancer landscape for today's patients as well as tomorrow's.
Providing the right support for cancer patients and their families starts with treating them like part of our own family. That's the commitment of the Patient and Family Support Services (PFSS) Program at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center.

When treating children, such as at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, professionals in these categories generally use the term 'pediatric' in their title, for example, pediatric oncologist, a doctor who treats children with cancer.
At the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, our mission is the conquest of cancer through innovation and collaboration.
Nowhere is that mission more apparent than in our groundbreaking approach to clinical care. We combat the hundreds of diseases known as cancer one patient at a time, bringing together the top experts and the brightest ideas to develop complete cancer diagnosis and treatment plans personalized to the needs of each individual patient.
